Description
Supporting Black Pupils and Parents: Understanding and Improving Home-school Relations by Lorna Cork provides valuable insights into the day-to-day needs and expectations of black parents and their children in education. Drawing on her extensive teaching experience, Cork explores the human consequences of exclusion rates among black children in schools worldwide. This book examines five key organisations that support black parents, discussing their home-school interventions and highlighting central issues arising from their efforts. By exploring real-life case studies, Cork offers fresh perspectives and practical advice for improving co-operation between black families, schools, and communities. Essential reading for education professionals, student teachers, and anyone with a serious interest in race issues, this book provides much-needed guidance on supporting the learning and attainment of black children.
